oh the memories.

You know how there are times you look back on and remember every. single. detail? Today I was thinking back to Jordan and I's first "real" date. I honestly don't think I will ever forget a single thing about that night. I remember getting ready at my apartment, asking Keali for a necklace to wear, asking Sara if I looked okay. I remember looking out the window of my third floor apartment and seeing Jordan walking accross the parking lot on his way to come get me.. wearing his baby blue flannel jacket. I remember laying on the couch at 1a.m after Jordan left, eating my left over thai food from our date.. thinking.. "I have never ever ever EVER felt like this before.." Sometimes I wish I could re-live certain nights like that. There is no feeling like falling in love for the first time :)

sicky sickerson

I am ashamed I have to post this because I take great pride in my normally wonderful immune system, but it appears as if all these sick people around me finally did me in. I spent halloween night feeling pretty sicko. My body was way achey and my throat was sore. Yesterday morning I had a fever of 101. I felt better by sunday afternoon (and my fever had gone away by the evening) but i started to feel sick again before bed. I got some tamiflu prescribed but am thining about trying to take a natural vitamin route instead. (Tamiflu is a cool 100 dollars.. not something we are prepared to pay). I have heard that as long as you don't have a fever you are not contagious (think this might be bogus but I really want to believe it). Jordan is taking work off today to take care of me. He has been so so sweet to me.. it makes being sick a lot less stinky. Now he is getting a sore throat of his own. I'm hoping all this craziness will be done with by thursday when my best friend Anastasia comes to visit! Cross your fingers :)

somethin's blowin' in

Today is a chili day in Sacramento. The wind is blowing extra hard. All I ever want to do on days like this is lay in bed, shop online, and listen to Iron and Wine. They are my fall weather band. I don't know if anyone else has certain bands that just sounds better in a certain season. . I have many.

weekday getaway

Recipe Rut.

Our kitchen is REALLY small. and just.. not fun to be in generally. Does anyone have good crock pot recipes? or know of any websites that have good ones? Please enlighten me!

Fall is here..

You know how you put on an outfit and think, "yeah this looks fine, and it's big so I can eat a lot and it doesn't matter." Well, on saturday I thought that about my oversized black v neck t shirt and big comfy cardigan from banana republic. Turns out every picture I saw of myself when we got home I wanted to puke and die. Hence the chest-up picture. Whatever, Candy Heaven trumps all frumpyness. This place is in Old Sacramento(downtown by the River). There are really fun shops and we like to just go walk around if we have nothing better to do. This candy shop lets you have as many samples of their candy and taffy as you want, as long as you eat it in the store. Pretty much it's the best place on earth for people like me.. who eat candy like its going out of style. I love all the fall things going on around me. It has just started to get nipply outside. Today I wore my flannel and wasn't even hot, which was a first. Thinking about breaking the boots out soon. While we were downtown we found this little alley-way decorated with scarecrows and other halloween stuff. It made me giddy.

One day I will get a picture of Jordan while he is smiling..

I have been keeping a little busier lately. I have been helping out Katie, the secretary of Market Street Capital (the company Jordan is working for) a few times a week. helping around the office and running errands and things like that. It has really, really helped me to not go insane, and not feel competely useless. Jordan is way busy this week (in fact he is still at work, 7:20 p.m.). The boss man moved up a deadline for them to finish the house they are working on to wedensday.. so they have two more long days ahead. They get a few days off once they finish a project, and this next time we are going to San Fran and..

Monterey!

I am so excited. It is amazingly gorgeous there and I know I will fall in love with the whole city.
That's all for now. I better get back to watching TLC and eating ice cream..

SMOKE

okay. is it wrong for me to post this picture? I mean.. i'm laughing. But.. maybe I should feel bad for this little kid? I am SO sick of smelling smoke, I could freak out. I promise to never ever take for granted that pretty much no one smokes in Rexburg. EVERYONE smokes here. SERIOUSLY, EVERYONE. When I wake up in the morning, the first smell I smell is old smoke coming from the vents. (pretty sure our downstairs neighboor blows his smoke out through the vents or something nasty like that..) Jordan claims to not smell it because I think he thinks if he denies it I will think it is in my head. It's not in my head. It's in my nose. All day. Every day. UGH. Two more months...
